Remarks

A rare opportunity to own and revive Benicia's iconic Majestic Theatre, a cultural and architectural treasure. Built in 1920 by former mayor William Crooks and designed by renowned architect James W. Plachek (Berkeley Library, UC Theatre), the Majestic was a beloved downtown destination. Originally a silent film theatre with a custom $14,000 pipe organ, it featured fireproof construction, advanced ventilation, and rich interior details. After a 1940s fire, it was remodeled with Art Deco features and briefly renamed The State Theatre. The building has since hosted films, plays, and community events, and remains one of the few surviving single-screen theatres of its era in California. Ideally located in downtown Benicia, the Majestic offers exceptional potential as a boutique cinema, performance space, or mixed-use venue (subject to city approval). This is more than a purchaseit's a chance to preserve a legacy and shape the next chapter of a local landmark.
